{\an4}way and find their way back to each other is 922 00:56:11,009 --> 00:56:12,509 {\an5}really special. 923 00:56:12,543 --> 00:56:14,009 {\an4}The nostalgia of, uh. 924 00:56:14,043 --> 00:56:16,443 {\an4}The Wizard of Oz, but seeing it from the 925 00:56:16,476 --> 00:56:18,676 {\an4}beginning, I guess that the idea of having an 926 00:56:18,709 --> 00:56:23,743 {\an4}origin story that leads to that for me was really 927 00:56:23,776 --> 00:56:26,143 {\an5}clever. 928 00:56:26,176 --> 00:56:30,243 {\an4}And that you got to humanize someone who was 929 00:56:30,276 --> 00:56:32,743 {\an4}often seen as the villain and I just came away 930 00:56:32,776 --> 00:56:35,209 {\an4}thinking, uh, what a wonderful message to send 931 00:56:35,243 --> 00:56:37,476 {\an4}to people that things aren't always as they 932 00:56:37,509 --> 00:56:38,943 {\an5}seem. 933 00:56:38,976 --> 00:56:41,343 {\an4}And there's always a reason for why people have 934 00:56:41,376 --> 00:56:43,416 {\an4}gotten to where they have gotten to and that there's 935 00:56:43,443 --> 00:56:45,976 {\an4}probably kindness where you don't think it is. 936 00:56:46,009 --> 00:56:53,143

{\an7}can often require some incredible sacrifices. 1195 01:12:13,143 --> 01:12:16,776 {\an7}Glinda seeks out her friend in the far reaches of Oz to make 1196 01:12:16,809 --> 01:12:20,409 {\an1}amends and finally stand up for what she knew was right 1197 01:12:20,443 --> 01:12:22,909 all along. 1198 01:12:22,943 --> 01:12:26,976 {\an1}She truly becomes Glinda, The Good. 1199 01:12:28,376 --> 01:12:29,785 {\an7}RILEY: I think it's an amazing story, 1200 01:12:29,809 --> 01:12:32,043 {\an8}the story of.. 1201 01:12:32,076 --> 01:12:34,309 {\an7}sometimes you gotta dig a little deeper to find the 1202 01:12:34,343 --> 01:12:36,243 {\an7}goodness in someone, 1203 01:12:36,276 --> 01:12:39,443 {\an7}and you can't really judge a book by its cover. 1204 01:12:39,476 --> 01:12:41,476 {\an1}The friendship between Glinda and Elphaba, 1205 01:12:41,509 --> 01:12:44,509 {\an1}is, it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful friendship. 1206 01:12:44,876 --> 01:12:47,309 {\an7}DEBOSE: I think the magic of Wicked is that, 1207 01:12:47,343 --> 01:12:50,043 {\an7}number one, it's driven by two powerhouse females, 1208 01:12:50,076 --> 01:12:53,076 {\an7}who go on this wild and beautiful journey, 1209 01:12:53,109 --> 01:12:56,309 {\an7}understanding what true friendship really means, 1210 01:12:56,343 --> 01:12:59,609 {\an1}and what it means to support each other, 1211 01:12:59,643 --> 01:13:02,776 {\an1}even when it may not mean that you get to stay 1212 01:13:02,809 --> 01:13:04,443 {\an1}in each other's lives. 1213 01:13:04,476 --> 01:13:08,143 {\an1}Like, it's a very very interesting complex story. 1214 01:13:08,409 --> 01:13:14,609 {\an7}ERIVO: I think this show about two friends who lose their way 1215 01:13:14,643 --> 01:13:17,809 {\an7}and find their way back to each other is really special, 1216 01:13:17,843 --> 01:13:20,843 {\an7}so I love this music because I think it's really wonderful to 1217 01:13:20,876 --> 01:13:23,009 sing as well. 1218 01:13:23,043 --> 01:13:25,509 {\an7}MENZEL: These women come to understand that true 1219 01:13:25,543 --> 01:13:28,076 {\an7}friendship is a bumpy and sometimes confusing road, 1220 01:13:28,109 --> 01:13:31,643 {\an8}but really worth it in the end. 1221 01:13:31,676 --> 01:13:33,485 {\an7}Despite all their differences, they have learned so much 1222 01:13:33,509 --> 01:13:34,876 {\an7}from one another. 1223 01:13:34,909 --> 01:13:36,985 {\an1}And they can finally admit that they love and respect 1224 01:13:37,009 --> 01:13:40,243 {\an1}each other for these differences. 1225 01:13:40,276 --> 01:13:42,809 {\an1}CHENOWETH: Fellow Ozians, we may not all come and go by 1226 01:13:42,843 --> 01:13:45,909 {\an1}bubble, or by broom, 1227 01:13:45,943 --> 01:13:49,643 {\an1}but we can fly into each other's hearts 1228 01:13:49,676 --> 01:13:51,276 {\an1}and leave lasting memories, 1229 01:13:51,309 --> 01:13:56,143 {\an1}impressions and friendships that change us for the better. 1230
